'Totally illogical': Boris Johnson reacts to attack by Ian Blackford over new Brexit law proposal

The SNP's Westminster leader says the Internal Market Bill is "an affront to the people of Scotland".

"As we've already heard this legislation breaks international law but it also breaks domestic law," Mr Blackford said during Prime Minister's Question.

He added that the Prime Minister is creating a "rogue state" where "the rule of law does not apply".

"Why does the Prime Minister think that he and his friends are above the law?" he asked.

Mr Johnson said he intends to "press on with this Bill because I believe that his attacks on on it are totally illogical" and says it devolves further powers to administrations.

The Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle asked Mr Blackford to withdraw what sounded like heckle accusing Mr Johnson of lying.

Incredulous, Mr Blackford replied: "It is on the face of the bill that the Government of the UK is going to trample over devolution. That is not a lie."
